My pal Gizmo is at rest now after a very long and very carefree life. He was, by far, the best dog ever. When he sensed that I was sad, he would curl up next to me and keep me company. He never fussed for anything if I wasn't feeling well. He would still make an attempt to play, even though he was so far along in years. My heart is breaking. People don't understand why I hurt so much. He was my baby. He was so much more than a dog. He was my companion and my best friend. Yeah, my heart is breaking. This isn't what I wanted it to be. I wanted to say something that put into words how I feel and what an amazing friend Gizmo was. He knew me in the end. He knew I was there and he felt mama's arms holding him as he slipped away. I hope he knows that I love him and that I let him go because I couldn't stand to see him suffer. I hope he knows that he was my best friend and that my heart is completely shattered tonight at the thought of never being able to snuggle with him again. He brought something special to my life and tonight....it feels so empty. Rest in peace my friend. I love you.
